WoodmenLife chapters had another busy month! Our members showed their ongoing commitment to family, community and country — and they had some fun at the same time.

For its third quarter project, Chapter 4 in Fulton, KY, donated school supplies to the local elementary school.

Members with Chapter 1571 in Martinez, GA, volunteered at the Columbia County Cares Food Bank. The members were busy repackaging eggs, coffee and flour into smaller containers, and sorting canned goods. They also presented a check for $400 to the food bank to purchase food. Pictured are Betty Curtis, Jodi Reece, Carolyn Clark, Donna Player, Chuck Clark, and WoodmenLife Representative George Lively.

The WoodmenLife Outreach Foundation awarded a $2,500 donation to Murray Main Street in Kentucky. WoodmenLife Representative Rachel Brown suggested this organization because of all the work it does with local events and community beautification. Pictured are Matt Falwell, Murray Main Street Board of Directors president; Deana Wright, Murray Main Street executive director; Brown; and WoodmenLife Community Outreach Advisor Lisa Farris.

On behalf of Chapter 254 in Charleston, WV, members Lula Cavender, Charla Casey and Loretta Baldwin presented new flags — including a POW flag — to Bruce Purnell with the Roark-Sullivan Lifeway Center.

For its third quarter project, Chapter 574 in Lewisburg, KY, visited Open Hearts Open Hands, Inc., to present a monetary donation to the food pantry. Members also helped distribute food to families arriving at the pantry in need of assistance.
